Next years’ application round to the Research Council of Norway

There are several changes to next years’ announcements from the Research Council of Norway (RCN): The deadline for FRIPRO is changed to 25 April.
The deadline for the programs BEDREHELSE/BEHANDLING/HELSEVEL is also set to 25 April. As for now, RCN could not inform us as to whether there will be restrictions on the number of applications submitted with the same deadline.
The program KVINNEHELSE will not be announced during 2018. The allocated budget was spent during the 2017-announcement.
The call text for FRIPRO is published and will become active 14 March 2018.
You can find information about the evaluation criteria for FRIPRO on RCN’s application review process webpage.
It is expected that PhD- and postdoctoral candidates in FPIPRO projects will incorporate a stay abroad into their fellowship period.
Project managers of funded Researcher Projects and Young Research Talent projects are expected to apply for grants from the European Research Council (ERC). This expectation was not there for managers of Researcher Projects, except for Toppforsk leaders, during previous years’ announcements.
